Stayed in a 2BR 1 Bath unit at this resort from 7/1 - 7/5. We had the reservation through the 8th but had to leave early due to change of plans. Check in was super smooth with no pressure to attend a sales meeting. We did have a note slid under our door one morning about attending an update (not a big deal) but were never bothered again. The only issue we had was that our microwave would not work but maintenance came and replaced right away with no issues after that. We used the kitchen quite a bit as we did do Disney and DCA for 3 days but returned in the middle of each day. I would definitely return to this resort again.

Comments on Unit #504:504 Is a ground level, 1BR unit, in the building located farthest back in the complex. It has a 'courtyard' view of the mini-golf putting green. The bedroom has a King bed, dresser, two nightstands, TV, ceiling fan, and ample power outlets. The living room has a sleeper sofa, entertainment console with TV/DVD, patio access and wall-mount Air Conditioning unit on either timer or motion sensor. The kitchen is small but fully equipped with good appliances. The dining table seats 4. The bathroom, located off the living room and not directly connected to the bedroom, is separated with a large vanity/dressing area outside the smaller room with tub/shower and toilet. We had ample water pressure and hot water.

Comments on immediate prior review:I believe the property is a converted apartment complex not former hotel. The units have full kitchens and large closets -- neither of which would have fit into the space offered by a former hotel layout. I fully agree with the desire for an in-room laundry!

My wife and I stayed at Dolphin's Cove from April 30, 2017 through May 7th 2017. We stayed in a one bedroom unit. The purpose of our visit was to visit family in the area not to go to Disneyland.

Our original unit 617 had a view of a parking lot. We were told that all one bedroom units view the parking lot. This wasn't explained to us when we called WorldMark to book our stay. The water in the unit would not get hot, the best we could get was tepid. Maintenance adjusted the mix of cold and hot water but still tepid was the best they could do. This is an issue with the boiler / hot water reservoir, not maintenance staff which did their best.

After 3 days of less than hot water we were moved to another room (511) which did give us hot water.

While I understand for most reading this review the point of Dolphin's Cove is to be close to Disneyland so the room isn't of primary focus.

Dolphin's Cove is a converted motel, and it shows. There are problems with Dolphin's Cove like hot water, lack of a desk for plugging in and using a computer, no laundry facilities in the room, and a few other things that detracted from the overall experience for me.

The overall cleanliness of the place is good and the staff is very friendly and I believe does their best to help guests.

We spent a lot of money to get to Dolphin's Cove, be a Platinum Elite member, etc. and we have had great experiences at many other WorldMark resorts. We expect more from WorldMark than what is offered at Dolphin's Cove.

Stayed for 6 days with family after not staying for the past 20 years. Our stay went really well. Everything was in working order and we noticed an improvement in the showers from 20 years ago. Still low flow but pressure was good and worked fine. Kitchen is small but works as long as only one person in kitchen. Wall air conditioner is probably the biggest letdown as it is so loud. Would be too loud for many to enjoy the unit.Staff is great, friendly and helpful. On site was a welcome party, mini golf, pool, ping pong. Reminds me of when and why we bought in because of family values and friendly service. We even got checked in early.

My family of 7 just stayed here and we loved it! Everything was clean, comfortable, and so close to Disneyland. We were impressed with the friendly staff of this resort. My little guys loved the hot chocolate in the main office and all the kids enjoyed the pool. There is a ping pong table right out by the pool and a mini golf course at the other end of the resort. They had an ART bus pass kiosk right by the clubhouse, but with our large group it was cheaper to just park at the toy story parking lot. You can walk, but for little legs a ride "home" is well worth it after all day walking/standing! We did see people walking in to the toy story lot despite the signs against it. Disney staff didn't seem to care, so you could get a free ride to the main gate this way. There was a barfing in the pool event that closed it down our final evening we found disappointing but we were pleased with how quickly the staff were cleaning things. By morning it was up and running again and the kids got to swim and splash while we enjoyed the continental breakfast poolside before checking out. My final favorite thing... FREE laundry, just try to avoid doing it with everyone else who wants to clean things before heading home. Make sure to be on time to switch your wash. There were some rude and impatient people who would take freshly washed loads out, pile them on the folding table, just so they could do their own!

Hello everyone,I feel so compelled to let all of you know how wonderful Dolphins Cove Resort is. My entire family of 10 were treated so wonderfully.Our vacation began Saturday, March 26th 2016. Because of our flight arrangement, we arrived hours before the standard check in time of 3:00pm. The staff reassured us not to worry. They helped by holding our luggage for us and provided enough pool towels so we could go swimming. The Pool was very clean and a very nice size. As time went on my entire family were starving. Again, the staff helped without hesitation and assisted in ordering several pizzas, wings and soda to be delivered. They offered sweet rolls, granola bars and beverages to curb our appetites until our lunch arrived. Before we knew it, here came the staff with our entire order which was delivered to the front desk. They provided paper plates and napkins. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable. A short time had past and all were content when the staff came back to the pool to inform us that our 3 condos were ready! 2 hours early! The condos were wonderful. One of the nicest things that we loved is that our 3 condos were located all together! Then another outstanding service. We had ordered 5 days of groceries (for 10 people!) on line to be delivered. One of the staff members personally escorted the grocery store delivery man to our condos! We did go to the cheese and wine social that evening. Again, the staff were amazing. They helped with the 5 children and took group pictures. Assorted cheeses and crackers, popcorn along with wine and non-alcoholic beverages were offered. The Dolphins Grove Resort was always well maintained and very pretty. When we needed to use the gas BBQ Grill, a staff member came promptly to lite it for us. The mini putt putt golf course was right off our patios which the kids loved.The resort is conveniently located near a city bus stop which took us directly to Disneyland. The bus ride was under 20 minutes. We Love our entire experience!

We just stayed at Dolphins Cove during Christmas. For what we needed it was worth it. Yea, Anaheim is newer, bigger and fancier by far. But we did not want to pay taxes or use as many credits. We were not in the room much, got back from Disneyland really late and we were gone a lot. The room was not bad. The main issue I would say is the laundry room is in very bad condition. Washers are uneven, which get unbalanced. I would say the laundry room was the worst. They did offer certain days were they had muffins and stuff for breakfast which we grabbed to take to disneyland. We used the Art bus for a couple days, but then realized we should have just walked down to the Toy Story parking lot and took the shuttle. We drove down cause I figured you would need a pass to get on the shuttle bus, but you don't. So walk down to the parking lot, 2 or 3 blocks and just shuttle down for free.

The newest review I'm seeing is from 2014, has anyone stayed here in 2015? I'm on a wait list for DC and Anaheim, but from the reviews I'm reading, I don't know if I want to stay at DC even though there is no tax to be paid.Thanks!!
